Zamir Kabulov, director of the Second Asia Department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, told the press that Russia had delivered another batch of Kalashnikov assault rifles to Afghanistan. We are talking about 10 thousands of units and more 2 million ammunition, which, which especially attracts attention, transferred to Kabul absolutely free.

The representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation spoke about the supply of weapons and military equipment from the Russian Federation to the Afghan army


RIA News quotes Zamira Kabulov’s statement:
Under the previous contract, we set up for the Afghan government 63 helicopter Mi-17, we have fulfilled all contract obligations. The last time we put 10 thousand Kalashnikov and 2,1 million cartridges, it is free of charge.


Supplies Afghanistan Russia weapons carried out in the framework of the program to combat international terrorism. How effective the Afghan security forces are in such a struggle is a separate issue.

About a week ago, Taliban militants announced the start of a spring offensive. Fighting with a new force flared up in several Afghan provinces at once, with the result that not only Afghan security officials, but also civilians are dying.

Zamir Kabulov called the situation in Afghanistan a crisis of Afghan security. The statement of the Russian official MFA leads portal "Afghanistan.ru":

The situation is worsened by the fact that the load of unsolved problems accumulated for several years. We have come to the conclusion that we can talk about a full-scale crisis that threatens Afghan statehood.


The Russian diplomat sees ISIS as a particular threat to Afghan security. Militants of the so-called “Islamic State”, according to Zamir Kabulov, aim to also transfer military operations outside Afghanistan - to the territory of the republics of Central Asia, which must be actively resisted.

      Are you talking about the Kalashnikov assault rifle? .. Or the "supernew" Mi-17? .. Don't get me wrong, both are excellent toys, but there is simply nothing to "test" there for a long time. And the buyer - Afghanistan - causes hostility. These guys grow the lion's share of drugs that flow in rivers to our country, through the "fraternal" republics, basically. They would not have helicopters with machine guns, but a couple of tactical nuclear strikes "give". The problem of "indestructible" plantations would disappear at once.

        With all due respect to our soldiers, without diminishing their exploits, I believe that the Soviet government committed a crime by invading there and overthrowing stable power.

        The warriors, fulfilling their duty, complied with the order.
        As a result, we destroyed a stable country. Because of us, there is now poppy growing instead of cotton and peaches and walking with machine guns.

        Americans, of course, committed this crime before, and repeated after in many countries.
        But specifically Afghanistan inspires respect from me.
        They did not submit to us, they did not submit to the Americans, the Pakistanis. Unable to wage a full-scale war, they act in partisan methods.

        So I welcome the supply of arms there.
        As for the supply of drugs to our country, it is better to work for the police. It is not so difficult to track the emergence of new small dealers. Large suppliers are difficult to detect, while small ones are simple. And that new ones will appear quickly - so the cops have such a job. Weeds must be weeded constantly.

    Disputes are superfluous, it's about politics. American and British troops, in essence, are guarding drug production. The lion's share of drug trafficking is overseen by the royal family, the rest is the CIA. It is not even hiding. The Taliban, for all their shortcomings, were punished with the death penalty for drugs. At the same time, they did not climb over the territory of Afghanistan.

    for young families to help BC with Kalash?

    what are these moans for. It is not written which year and which model of AK.

    Oh, those moans. Let us build a school with hospitals in Almaty, instead of laying ashes on the road instead of Ash trees.

    And we will not write off debts to anyone and never will be proud to sit surrounded by debtors.

    And for the machines it was necessary to take sand.

    Is there such a cannibalistic position? Like everything for the front, everything for victory? There is nothing to give debts to Cuba and Vietnam? There is no money, but there is kimat and a warm sea, let them take our people out for free, while we have a lot of poor people who have been given a loan to them. In Afghanistan, there is also something to take, besides sand, no doubt. And young families need money for these ak and BC.

    A royal gift - the Afghans appreciate our machines and cherish like a right hand. I even saw their handmade carpets with patterns from our machine guns and helicopters. It’s nice to tear. Take my word for it is expensive to buy.

      Similarly. Spirits should not be armed, but soaked in the toilet. They have been fighting all their lives, and mostly at the expense of others. After all, it’s deep for them ... who gives money weapons and feeding - the main thing is to fight AGAINST ALL!

      Then you should not approve of the assistance of the Syrian army.

        It is too early to say anything about Syria - they have not been guessed, they are fighting. And the spirits only fought with our hands. In the afternoon in Tsarandoi, and in the darkness, even the spirit. Syria fights off fanatics, and the bearded from whom fought back and with whom are they fighting? Poppies grow and wait for handouts in the form of weapons and grub.

          You masterfully own a sleeper and have a better command of the situation than Shoigu.

    AGAINST ALL ... enemies of Islam! The enemies of Islam are the adversaries of Allah! The main adversary of Allah is Satan! The true wars of Allah are the enemies of Satanists of all stripes, including ISIS! Disguised, as it should be a pack of shaitans, under the faithful! The goal is to discredit and weaken Islam, i.e. FAITH Man in the Creator of all things, which only makes a certain being a Man!
    And if we want to have in Russia not just a bunch of creatures armed to the teeth, but an army of people who can defend in themselves and in others the Image and Likeness given to us by our Creator, we must also clearly distinguish between Good and Evil, i.e. have ideology fight against Satanism! Here we are allies with Islam and Kalashnikov is our faithful helper. Everything else is from the evil one!

    Well, they gave the Afghans machine guns to the division, only they will shoot at whom and who. And our patients will manage, and there are no funds in the budget.
